I wanted to check out a few new places for vintage knives .
guy pulls out 3 big tubs full of every no name junk , but do i lose hope no!
I dig right in and some 300 knives later nothing .
so i drive to new flea market in town went through the whole thing and right at the end found a makers mark I never seen before .
"chef favorite" Foster Bros 10" knife
now when Foster Bros folded a lot of the inventory was bought up by other makers or household suppler's.
this could be a result of that .

Love the obscure brands. Wondering how you display or keep the large numbers you have. I'm out of ideas but keep collecting.
